Is that why Aerec is smiling in the OP up top?

I played eden for a few months before getting run off by a cabal of taru taru black mages abusing level sync in quifim

Phoenix looks good and is launching soon.
The worst thing about eden was people dual boxing white mage to power level parties of 6, a 50 white mage carring people through valkurm

That being said have any servers tried doing major class balance or more wacky changes? The core mechanics of this game are among the best in the genre but the slavish devotion to the original metagame only holds things back IMO. There are wonderful romhacks for old SNES and PS1 FF games and this game has a ton of potential in that regard

>>2873474

They must've forgotten about this somewhere along the way because lol Corsair's Roll at 75

How do you play around unstacked items on Phoenix? Level Woodworking and Mining to 60 for making lumber and ingots? Or do we need GP items too?

>>2876184

terrible idea . We want a new metagame, better subjobs, more subjob options for everyone. We want to add to everyone's class identity.

I can make a shell when phoenix drops and get pearls to people etc but namefags from previous iterations may just straight up not get a pearl. Anonymous basket weaving forum, not public namefag basket weaving forum, remember?

It’s already going to be more generous than retail because it’s launching with mpg wardrobe and satchel. Aside from that you just go back to town to unload your crap sooner. It’s not some massive hinderance to gameplay.

Sweats will probably just have their “””wife’s account””” go out to yhoator and pick up their inventory so they never have to leave still

>>2876271
same as before except if you farm your own mats, you craft in-field now to save trips. Or you do the same as before and let others farm/HELM for you and just buy the mats (which they'll be more incentivized to do since mats should be more expensive).

Is it worth playing FF11 private server if I have no intention of ever programming in any gearswap shit? I played retail and liked it, but dropped it due to fucking gearswap being a pain in the dick. Basically, is FF11 worth playing if I'll just be sticking to one set of gear? (Assume I'm playing with people OK with it.)

>>2877207
If you’re playing exclusively with people who are cool with you gimping their party, sure. Everyone else is going to avoid you. The damage/performance gains are too big to ignore

>>2877273
Horizon players are very retarded. The assault missions are easily exposing the low IQ of most of the players.

>>2876588
i was thinking about pld again but i'm not sure how different pld was on horizon. i liked it there though.

>>2877207
75 cap takes very little gear compared to 99.
Like white mage might benefit from gearswap and most melee can get by without it.
For white mage you can get your cure casting time so low that without gearswap you'll be midcasting in your precast gear. Gearswap/ashitacast prevents that from happening.
ashitacast is almost trivial to set up, you'd determine the best gear for your idle set which if you're a good player has some regen/refresh/damage taken gear in it.

For example, my bard has an idle set that gives -49% physical damage and -28% magic damage and a hybrid idle set that gives 92 fire and thunder resist with -28% mdt. It doesn't sound like much but it's pretty huge when you're fighting random fire damage shit like bahamut or cerberus or thunder damage shit like tyger and khimaira o when you have a good white mage using max buffed barthundra you don't get toasted by fulmination when one of your stunners misses a stun
But then i have fast cast gear and song casting time gear in precast, and i have it set to swap to minstrels when my hp is yellow and then my midcast depends on the song but you can use sheikh gages and sitagoromo for lullaby which gives you -7 second recast which is really overkill for merits but you might get a lot of use out of them for content if you're doing CC
that shits hard to do without ashitacast.

Best race/class combo to use as an outlet for my AGP?

>>2877513
elvaan female
and idk maybe a samurai

>>2877480
Chivalry is originally a merit ability and they just gave it to pld at some level on horizon. Auto refresh level was reduced iirc. I think the made changes to cover. Enlight was never a thing. They made changes to clubs allowing pld to use more of them. Holy circle and shield bash were also tweaked but I don’t know exactly how anymore. So, a lot of changes actually

>>2877207
You can play it fine without gearswap youd probably just stick to very basic gearswaps that you can manage with equipsets

>>2877527
moonlight is also buffed, it's like 2-3 times what it was on retail, on Horizon you can reliably solo on a paladin while on retail paladin couldnt solo for shit.

>>2877513
any female WHM
probably not elvaan though since they don't look as girly

>>2877527
>>2877549
shit, i might skip paladin then. on horizon the job felt very active while leveling since you could spam a lot more heals with chivalry and moonlight and i thought the cooldown cycling was kinda fun mixed in with that.

what other jobs are really active? am i forced to play a bard and pull everything? i never played rdm, would that a busy job too?

>>2877621
paladin wasn't that much different on retail its just that colibri parties don't really need one.
Good TOAU parties skip the tank and go DD DD DD cor bard rdm
Up until TOAU a paladin needed a red mage to keep refresh on him, and he kept hate by healing himself in a party. These groups were very slow because of downtime and paladin cant even hold hate against a real DD.
When a good TOAU party kills so fast that provoke is pointless, and your bard puller is effectively the tank, paladin groups would kill IT shit like crabs in 45-60 seconds.

>>2877621
Rdm is super busy imo. Whm can be too. Idk what you classify busy I guess. Brd doesn’t seem busy to me, you’re just running constantly.

Is Horizon a bad server to play on? It kind of seems like people hate them. Do people expect Phoenix to actually be better when it comes out? How about Zenith?

I don't have much experience with FF11 past playing the story on retail, but ToAU content seems a little weird to me. Won't ToAU invalidate most Promathia stuff?

>>2877739
>paladin groups would kill IT shit like crabs in 45-60 seconds.
that's what i remember doing back in the day, complete with blms magic bursting freeze.

will the colibri meta make paladin less wanted on the phoenix launch then? i assumed low gear levels might still make plds viable but i guess groups could just take wars with spears or drgs to colibri instead.

>>2877794
i want to be pressing buttons instead of just standing in 1 spot waiting for tp to fill up. paladin had the mp and cooldown management going for it while leveling even though you stood in one spot. saying that, rdm or whm does sound like what i want.

for bard, i was thinking that there would be spawn management and song management mixed together with the pulling so that it'd feel more interactive than some other jobs. but i never played brd on horizon because of the stigma that if you level brd to 75, you're stuck playing it forever and it seemed boring at end game outside of merit parties.

>>2877828
Horizon is a fine server if you like custom content. People are salty over it because of all the broken promises and a staff that has been replaced since launch with people who genuinely seem to hate the playerbase.

If you just want a server to run the content and play around casually it’s fine. It’s nowhere near retail era accurate in many things though

>>2877832
>will the colibri meta make paladin less wanted on the phoenix launch then?
people will need to get to colibri levels though, and no one but the richest niggas are gonna level NIN for at least a couple months
Every alliance wants at least one PLD anyway and it's a really solid job for missions

>>2877832
Brd is just play song > pull mob > sleep mob > play another song > repeat. You’re just doing 2 ballads and whatever 2 songs the melee want on repeat.

Rdm you have mp management on top of healing, debuffing, buffing, status removal. It’s a pretty demanding job if you want to be good at it imo. Whm is the same except without refresh and less mp management tools. Once they add afflatus solace in wotg expansion whm becomes easier.

There are other jobs you could consider busy but the level of busy is pretty much entirely up to you

No one is stopping you from wasting your time on horizon, just be ready for:

1. Getting kicked / laughed at because you got no gear
2. Getting kicked because you dont know WTF you are doing and people just want to level really fast
3. Knowing you will NEVER catch up to literally 99% of the server, you will always be 1000 steps behind everyone else.
4. Expect to grind a LOT for gil and have competition in pretty much every way to get gil or gear, dont expect to ever get a claim on anything, some of these guys have been camping o kotes / fuma / pin for literal years and have it down to a science.
5. expect to pay out the yin yang for consumables and crystals (if you want to even bother crafting lmao) EVERYTHING is inflated because gil is so inflated after 4 years of CoP grinding.

Other than that yeah its pretty good.

>>2877828
Phoenix has the backing of the core devs for the LSB project. It’s open source as well. All the coding is done based on the Japanese wiki for the game. I don’t know why that is the definitive source for accurate information vs any other wiki or forum from that era, but that’s what they’re basing all the coding on. If you look at their discord the bug page has a lot of retail captures to back up the claims of how things should be coded.

Will it be the last ffxi era private server? Doubtful. Only because drama always kills these projects.

>>2877893
Do you think that same culture will form in Phoenix before long?

>>2877874
yeah, i figure it will take a while for people to actually start having /nin subs while leveling. on horizon at launch people seemed to do start leveling their nin sub after they hit 75 on their first job.

>>2877878
whm doesn't have the solo meme potential either, right? rdm is sounding pretty good, needing to do bcnms at 40 to get refresh is the only part that sounds annoying but i'm guessing there will be a lot of rdms looking for groups for that.

>>2877914
It's inevitable. That's why you have to get in early while there are still fresh faces and hope.

>>2877914

Always does, thats why you get in on the first year, also horizon stagnated WAY too fuckin long, the way phoenix buds have been progressing i would say 1-2 years for WoTG, then again who the fuck knows, Aerec said we would have treasures 6 months post launch LMAO

>>2877922
The same level as rdm, no. You can actually make a melee build on whm though and it’s pretty fun. If you’re rich enough it can even be good, but then again rdm can as well. Rdm can be used for the bcnm40 for peacock charm so it will be relatively trivial to get your spells assuming you have the seals.

On phoenix or any fresh server without the loaded AH bullshit, generally it takes about 6 months for the AH to actually get stocked with decent amount of items, its literally months of people just getting enough gil to do shit lol

>>2877946
thanks for the insight. i'll probably end up playing rdm or whm then, i'm sort of leaning towards whm first since whm seems like it'll be less in demand for leveling as the server progresses.

>>2877983
Definitely. Just don’t expect to be able to join merit parties on whm. Endgame opportunists are also fewer, specifically in the low man end game content like assaults and salvage

Just play what you want. Anything that isn't BRD, COR or RDM is just a warm body.

>One of the best race options for Paladin in the game due to infinite healing/flashes
Yep.

>>2878087

Assuming seals have a 100% chance to drop (its 20%), you were literally doing NOTHING but farming for them solo the ENTIRE time, that is 66 hours of grinding MINIMUM!, that doesnt even include the time it takes to kill the mob either.

>>2882087

Hop on, make an ACE character and follow the new player guide, use partyfinder addon (built in) to jump in exp parties etc, hop on bro it's good sauce I am working on prestiging atm (once you hit 75 you can reset 5 times per job for awesome job specific bonuses)

Scholar will be the meta healer once it finally releases in private servers
>but scholar will be the meta nuker
It will be the meta blm support, only retards will run 6 sch over 5 blm and 1 sch, if horizon unnerfs modus veritas tho then you will have a point but they wont because it is literally impossible to balance that effect without making all content trivial

>>2882346
I made an ace character i'm a level 3 or 4 red mage in sandy. went beardy this time.

wanna bum me some gil for a better weapon and early spells? looking foreward to doing Blu again, and runefencer is a big draw. I've played ff5 dozens of times and buttz is almost always mystic knight/blu. I have never used trusts before so that might be intresting.

got to 60 something on eden, was the only blu tank on the server ( all four blue mage players lol) i think the gamemasters helped me be the first elf with blue AF

I don't remember shit

>>2882783
u don't even need the handout just do the trust quests asap then level a job to 20 with trusts with Fields of Valor book objectives and Records of Eminence objectives live and you'll gain sparks - rolandienne at sandy west gate is the sparks vendor you just buy everything you need there skill books weapons armor etc and then with leftover sparks buy Acheron Shield or (anything you can afford really) and vendor it to the food vendor nearby for an amazing gil ratio, vendoring items bought with sparks will have you balling very quickly if you just level up 2-3 jobs to 50 during ur nation mission grind

>>2883361
On top of the damage numbers being off, Horizon buffed blood tanking so PLD/WARs are strong enough to tank it head on. I remember needing a Ninja tank on retail because Ultima and Omega did so much damage.

>>2882039

Who cares?

Haven't ever played FFXI before but am interested in Phoenix when it comes out. What're the good options for playing as a caster?

>>2885576
RDM is top tier in everything but functions in leveling more as a healer. At end game it’s more support focused. BLM will be harder to level up but is god tier at end game. Huge damage and unique utility. SMN functions as support and healer while leveling and then is mainly used for support and dealing safe damage to high level targets at end game. WHM is your standard healer focused debuff cleansing job.

>>2885576
they're all pretty viable and useful. Really just depends on what you want to do between
big spike damage + crowd control (BLM),
main healing/support (WHM),
jack-of-all-trades (but mainly healing/debuffing in group content) (RDM) or,
jack-of-all-trades but with big summon pets (SMN)

>>2885576
literally any of them. black mages and summoners are top tier damage dealers at end game, red mage is arguably the best job in the game, and white mage is still good and has a niche.

>>2885668
Never mention Scummoner in this thread again.

Is BLU not actually a caster?

>>2886483
DD limited by MP

>>2886483
It’s a melee that casts. Less of a full blown caster

>>2885576
>White Mage
Standard healer, gets debuff support (but not as good as Red Mage), the most mp efficient healing in the game (until Scholar comes along) and useful buffs like haste and proshell. Its downside is being reliant on other jobs for mp refresh which means its worse than red mage when it comes to fast tp burn-like parties since you don’t need burst healing and they can’t recover MP as fast as Red Mage.

>Red Mage
Primarily a debuffer, gets all the highest tier of debuffs in the game. Also gets access to healing, the same useful buffs as white mage and some light nuking but it has horrible MP efficiency for all of them, especially healing since it only gets access to tier 1 Regen. The jobs call to fame is exclusivity to the spell refresh (a buff that gives mp regen) and the ability convert (swaps MP/HP values). A good Red Mage will basically never run out of MP unless their party is really bad thanks to these abilities. Of course this means that Red Mage takes on the role of a healer more often than not but it is technically a job that can do everything, even some meeleing.

>Black Mage
Standard nuke mage job, not much else to say here. You have some unique stat debuffs to help your party in the form of elemental DOT and you thrive in magic burst parties (not exactly common but not bad either). Like White Mage you will be reliant on other people giving you refresh.

I’ll continue in another post

This is basically all mages combined but limited to only using 1 offensive ability and 1 support ability per minute. It has very powerful support, healing and damage but it comes out very slowly and it is very costly MP wise, the pets also have a perpetual mp cost when out to compound these downsides. Its common to Sub white mage on this job to act as a subpar healer with huge MP pool when waiting for cooldowns. Since it uses pets it means its also a master kiter and very efficient at soloing especially if you use its cheapest pet (carbuncle), it can also save your party by simply distracting aggro with its pets.

>blue mage
Probably the actual sword mage, its essentially a melee dd that casts spells. They actually get a mix of elemental magic and physical based magic and even some supportive/healing magic. They can perform many active roles such as backup healing, crowd control, debuffing, and they can even magic burst once they learn the right abilities but a lot of their buffs are self-cast (though they can do some unique things like aoe stoneskin or blink)

>Puppet master
Not really a mage more like a mechanic with a very varied pet but I thought it was worth mentioning because its pet can be a Red Mage, White Mage or Black Mage depending on what its equipped. If you like the idea of controlling a mage automaton than this job may be for you.

I should probably also mention these:
>Bard
The ultimate support job with access to all the most coveted buffs in the game. Sadly thats all it does so its very reliant on being in a party as its job is to make other players stronger.

>corsair
Basically bard but rng buffs and uses a gun. Its honestly a mix of bard and the job ranger but its just as highly covered as bard for its buffs and even has some buffs bard cannot provide.

>BRD RDM SAM SAM SAM WAR
>camp colibri
Or
>PLD BLM WHM BRD or RDM SAM WAR
>camp trolls

There is only one correct answer, choose wisely.

You faggots are such a goddam eyesore. Worthless trash, you cannot even be called human

Thinking about RDM for Phoenix. What's the best race for it?

>>2887808
Tarutaru is objectively the best race for any mage.

>>2887880
isn't elvaan better for soloing as rdm?

>>2887404
scared about some colors lil bro?

>>2887404
XI is a gay/trans friendly community just like XIV and every other Final Fantasy fan space. You are the one who doesn't belong.

homophobia isnt a thing. no one is scared of you faggots, just disgusted

what race for my DRG if I wanna push the soloer meme?

he doesnt want anyone supporting windower and it still works better than ashita. this fag controls every server that pops up while funneling money to his own patreon from selling hacks. everything surrounding ffxi private servers is fucked.

the best thing about Wings was they didnt force you to use faggot ass Ashita.
You want to use some 75 profile gearswap from retail 18 years ago? hell yeah brother.

Idk about this anymore. We are 77 in discord / horizon shell and we polled recently, 89% of our discord does "Not enjoy seeing anything to do with sexuality in the final fantasy, in game or discord" - I wouldn't call Final Fantasy a gay/trans friendly community, just somewhere where you may be likely to find a fellow sexual degenerate.

>>2889012
Only the PS2 Revival can save us from this but that's if they have the sense to make a PS2 HW Only server AND a PSXC2 server

After tomorrow is Phoenix launch baby, can't wait to start on a fresh server!

>>2889215
No wait the launch is 24 September, sorry for the misinformation.

>>2889132
XI is strictly a virtue signaling community

What percentage of players on phoenix are gonna do THF from the start considering you cant even use regular bolts? THF was reduced to only using status bolts in era.

>>2889370
ok so make blind/acid bolts, they aren't expensive.

>>2889399

>"Arent that expensive"
>31 alch / 14 smith

You expect everyone to do this at the start? lol

>>2889370
Standards for EXP parties in the first month don't exist, people are going to show up in full AF and accessories that are well under level. On Horizon at launch, you could have Paladins at level 50 without Flash yet, if you went out to Altepa you would see a bunch of paladins trying to solo Antica to get the drop instead of paying the 30k.

So what I'm saying here is, it doesn't matter if you show up as THF without any bolts. As long as you're willing to make parties then no one will care. It's the ultimate grace period to be a shitter, fuck I remember WHMs,RDMs, and even BRDs not having dispel so people couldn't level on crawlers. I saw groups fall apart as soon as they realized that cocoon was too strong without a dispel or BLM. There were RDMS at 41+ without Refresh too, it's a crazy time to level. I vaguely remember at least 1 WHM that was "too poor" to buy haste.

With that in mind, the conquest point gear matters A LOT the first month. You can trade gear with other players from other nations but the conquest point gear will be the bread and butter for some jobs. It was also a good way to make money selling items that were highly in demand.

>>2888477
"push" is galka but you have to be ok with dogshit MP until you get ethereal earring. before then you have to swap to staff to use spirit taker or get refresh via juices

max HP is the game for DRG soloing, so Galka > Elvaan > hume/mithra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dogshit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> worst possible drg (taru)

It's honestly amazing how bad taru is at DRG. Every stat DRG wants is minimized.

>>2889667

Ok so let me expand on my first thought, basically THF cannot solo effectively without xbow, really anything that isn't like 20+ levels below them so farming is going to be so miserable it wont be worth it until either you get bolts to do actual damage, or 61 when u get dancing edge.

Meanwhile MNK and WAR both have really good damage and their weapons aren't too hard to get.

Mages usually relied upon fishing but theres a cap on that now, not sure if thats going to effect most people but it might (i have never fished before idk shit about it).

99% of the gil is from vendorables so THF traditionally is the 100% objectively best pick, but like i said that will slow down to a crawl if you cannot make status bolts.

Buying them isn't going to be an option because the second someone lists a stack they will be bought up by the 1000+ THFs looking for faster grinding.

>>2889694

One thing i forgot to mention is the fact that if all these THFs are going to be level alch to make bolts its going to be that much harder to get a point where you can make bolt heads.

>>2889694
Just level until you get dancing edge then, because the gear requirements are so low you don't need to farm much initially. Sell your conquest point gear and buy crafted weapons with that gil, you can resell them later anyway.

>>2889753

>Get to 61 in the dunes, competing with the continous constantly flow of people whilst incurring a progressive EXP loss up to 50% when you hit around 45 or so.

That sounds like the kind of torture that would make the spanish inquisition blush.

>>2889775
There's no reason to stick to the dunes. What I'm saying is what people did on Horizon. You level straight through like normal but with lesser gear. You use conquest point gear and then AF gear. It's not like Hauby or Scorpion Harness jobs can go farm those up at release, so you ignore them initially and pick them up later through KSNMs(ODS drops both) or camping Roc/Simmy/Serket with your LS.

>>2889370
so if i level thief i can't use a ranged weapon with "normal" ammo, it HAS to be status ammo, in PhoenixXI?

I don't understand

>>2889992
How does that affect you

>>2890008
Bro, What?

I am asking if when we start on Phoenix XI what the situation will be, on other servers I can get a shitty xbow and some bolts and use /ra inbetween auto attacks (I only just learned this recently) but this post >>2889370 implies that THF will only be able to equip/use bolts that inflict a status?

I require explanation I've been here 6 months not fucking 20 years like the rest of you

>>2890132
This is how it worked in era. Also why people have been saying players are going to seethe at true era accuracy lol

The plus side is bloody bolts are actually going to work properly

THF getting fucked over a bit is a good thing. I'm preemptively mad about them camping coffers to sell Life Belts.
